In this new photometric assay fecal samples are pretreated with detergent and high concentrations of salts. The subsequent kinetic enzyme determination step involves the chromogenic substrate succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-4-nitroanilide. The sample pretreatment assures a nearly complete solubilization of the formerly particle-bound enzyme, thus permitting determination of the enzyme activity in eith...

Drug counterfeiting has exaggerated dramatically over the past decade causing a significant threat to human health. It must be processed in regard to medicines and the matter isn't restricted to a violation of belongings rights, however clearly involves every kind of poor quality pharmaceutical merchandise, including falsified and substandard medicine. The present paper discuss the review of th...

Bromate, a disinfectant, is one of the analytes of interest in wastewater analysis. Environmental laboratories have a regulatory need for their measurements to be traceable to NIST standards. Bromate is not currently certified as a NIST Standard Reference Material (SRM). Therefore, a traceable assay of potassium bromate (KBrO3) is needed. KBrO3 was dissolved in water and assayed by redox titrim...

Two titrimetric and one spectrophotometric methods are described for the determination of albendazole in pure form and in formulations. In direct titrimetric procedure (Method A), the drug is titrated directly with N-chlorosuccinimide solution in hydrochloric acid medium using indigo carmine as indicator. In back titrimetry (Method B) the drug is treated with a measured excess of the oxidant in...

Background: Diethylcarbamazine citrate (DEC) is the drug of choice for the treatment of lymphatic filariasis, a disease which affects people in the tropical areas of the world. Mass treatment with DEC is recommended for control of lymphatic filariasis and in this connection, there is a need for an assay which could be used for the purpose of medication control. Objective: The present study is a...
